How to Change Gear
You can freely change it from the Gear Menu
To change your gear, select the desired gear from the menu that opens when you press the OPTION button. You can change it anytime as long as you have access to the menu, so it is recommended to refresh your gear before quests or during Post-Game Quests.

Effects of Gear
Increases HP, Attack Power, and Defense Power
Gear mainly has the effect of increasing the character's stats. The stats that increase are "HP," "Defense Power," and "Attack Power," which are essential parameters in battles. Therefore, it is recommended to check if the newly obtained gear is stronger than the one you are currently using.
What to do when your gear slots are full
Expand your gear slots
When your gear slots are full, try expanding them. Gear slots are expanded based on the number of Merlin Trials that are cleared. Prioritize clearing Merlin Trials for those who want to carry a lot of gear.

Sell your gear regularly
When your gear slots are full, sell your extra gear. Gear with low levels and quality that you do not have any use for can be sold. Once you have obtained gear, you can still use it for its appearance, so it is recommended to sell unused gear regularly.
Sell low-quality gear without hesitation if it is weaker than your current gear
If the gear you currently have equipped has lower stat bonuses and lower quality, sell it without hesitation. Gear with "Standard" and "Fine" quality cannot be enhanced. As such, they have no expandability and no benefit in keeping them.

Discard your gear
When your gear slots are full which happens when you are in a dungeon, discard low-value gear. To discard a gear, hover over the gear you want to discard and hold down the L3 stick.
However, discarded gear cannot be picked up later, so it is a last resort. Before entering dungeons, expand your gear slots and sell your gear regularly.
